I never did understand how the .desktop files generated Menu entries.
I get how the .desktop files are used to add entries to the default Puppy menu in: /root.jwmrc
But as I said, I see no info. in the .desktop file about how they are placed in the menu.
Somehow I would think it would have to reference the sub-menu it`s to go in.

It's based on the category. Which category belongs to which menu is listed in /etc/xdg/menus/hierarchy. The fixmenus script uses the stuff in /etc/xdg/templates and /etc/xdg/menus to create the menu file that you get in ~/. Depending on which WM is being used, I believe fixmenus also uses jwm-xdgmenu, icewm-xdgmenu, etc.

I just tested the desktop file you posted and it worked for me (4.1.2). Except, in your post you said it was under the "use" directory, instead of "usr". I assume that was just a typo in your post, and that you did in fact place it under "usr".

Make sure you run fixmenus._________________Between depriving a man of one hour from his life and depriving him of his life there exists only a difference of degree. --Muad'Dib

Thanks for the tutorial Pizzasgood; I always appreciate the help!
I knew the menu setup was rather complex and used many files to do it`s thing.
Fixed an error, the .desktop file had, no "xpm" extention on the icon file name. Looks great!
I set my app. to copy the .desktop file, fix the menus, and restart jwm.
